What’s the most powerful tool in any classroom? In the age of AI, education advocate Matt Wu still believes it’s the people. In this hopeful talk, he discusses the nonprofit he leads, Schoolhouse, which pairs students with peer tutors from across the globe, building the crucial human connection that every person needs to thrive. Peer tutoring isn’t just teaching students how to learn concepts, says Wu. It’s teaching them how to better understand one another.

      @Acklon You CAN control teachers. Incentive good ones, fire and discipline the bad. You actually can’t control AI. One poisoning and it’s impossible to get it back to its original programming.

      @Acklon all research so far shows that people do not learn the same from screens/technology as they do in person and hands on. A person who reads a digital book does not retain information as well as the physical book reader. The online student doesn’t learn and take away information as well as the student with an in person teacher. And using screens in school also contributes to screen addiction and brain deterioration.

      Yes, some teachers are bad at teaching, but using AI in schools or, god forbid, to replace teachers, is completely detrimental to education
